There's something so interesting reading the early work of Patti Smith (or any other writer for that matter).

 I really enjoyed spotting some lines in this poetry book that she would later rework into whole songs later on in her career. I also picked up on quite a few  themes and images that she would later explore more deeply in her books. 

Liked this a lot :)
